Freaky
Meet the Grass horse lord
Different to his two brothers
A shell
A hard shell
With a soft head under his shell
Protected from his enemies

Moves like a storm of speed
Across the paddocks
With more energy

But he doesn’t use it all to run
He uses it to catch his food

Small insects
Heaps of energy
From devouring his food

Quietly and sneakily
He moves
Unlike his brothers
Who clip clop clip clop
Over the stones

He cooperates with his brothers
They need each other
Working together
To pull a cart

The Grass horse

Friend to all horses
Friend to all grasshoppers

Term

My Speech - Be a Safe Hunter

Term 1

I am improving my reading fluency by reading with others



HUNTING
A taste of the fur in the pig’s mouth
Ripped off the goat’s body.

Saliva drips from its mouth
Warm and gooey and slimy

The sound of the pig
squealing its head off
Terrified seeing a hunter
Anytime
At the sound of dogs barking

The smell of the stench of the pig
Stinky
Like a mixture of cheese and rotten eggs

Its hard hair sticks out
With big gaps in its fur
But it is gooey and dirty
And slushy with hair mixed with mud

With a fat head
And a big jaw
And a squashed nose
And dirty dirty feet
And a spiked up neck
And a very fat body

A wild wild pig

Coke

"Re re re re ..."
"Mum. Dad. Wake up!"
"Breakfast!"
"Oh no. No bowls. Dad, where are all of the bowls?" "Hurry up dad."
Gzzs.
"Hi dad"
"I will help you Travis."

"Travis ..."
"Yes mum."
"Hop in the press."
"Ok mum." "Oh ... a black cat. Oh I can see a black cat."
We looked for it.
"Follow the cat!! Fiona, catch it!! Damn Dean, catch it!!"

We got the cat.
"Hey, it's friendly. It's not a wild cat! It's a friendly cat."
"We will call it Coke."

Well ... I've got bad news ... Coke died.

I am practicing reading everyday to develop my fluency.

I am getting better at stretching out words I don't know and breaking them into chunks.

Term 3

I am learning to read procedural text for understanding when I investigate with my reading partners.
We had to read the experiment before we could do it together.

Mid Year Reflection

I am reading lots of books. I am reading fluently. I look at the first letter, the blend and the middle letters and sound them out. I can work out words I do not know by looking at the picture, or sounding them out.
